AN APPROVED WORKER

Since the days of Eden, people have been haunted by fear each side of the grave. Sometime when people peer beyond the grave, their anxieties are aggravated by the unknown. The prince of peace is the only one who can rid you of fear, whether it fear the pandemic virus. And to the future peace is the opposite of fear. A prescription for peace is found..

Since the children as he calls them, are people of flesh and blood. Jesus himself became like  them and shared their human nature. He did this so that through His death He might destroy the devil, who has the power over death, and in this way we are set free those who were slaves, all theirr lives because of their fear of death. (Hebrew 2:14-15).

God became a human being that's Jesus, Jesus, desires to deliver you of your fear, whether you're living nightmare or fearing death (virus). All you have to do is trust in Jesus that will give peace. Because He is the prince of peace.

Since the children have shared in flesh and blood, (the Son), also himself in the same way partook of the same (v. 14a). A more literal and blood in common." being prefer the literal translation because, for me, it speak of commonality of the human condition. We share the strength and weakness, herent in our flesh and blood bodies. In the end, we share death...the greatest leveler.

Jesus shared our human condition beginning with his birth in a stable at the Manger that cradled him as a newborn, born before the advent of the modern medicine. He had no access to trained obstetrician or a well equipped hospital. His parent had to bundle him up to the middle of the night to flee to Egypt to escape murderous Herod. 

During His ministry, he walked many dusty road.. No limousine or private jet for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lord's no indoor plumbing no air conditioning, no bodyguard. And His death was terrible... A terrible death can be. Death is never pretty, and is seldom painless, but Jesus suffered a cruel death that put him on a par with the worst that anyone He has experienced. "that through death He might bring to nothing to Him who had the power of death that is, the devil." "And might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all  their lifetime subject to bondage" (v. 15).

Jesus came to deliver us from the fear of death and the bondage that fear and death impose... 

We still die, of course at last count, the death rate hovered at 100 percent. But through Christ we have the hope of resurrection and life eternal. Life with God... An eternal  life which we begin in the here and now. As Jesus said in His high Priestly prayers, "This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and in whom you sent, Jesus Christ (John17:3). Be steadfast hand to hold unto and the certainty that a loving and all powerful God who knows everything is standing by your side putting your confidence in Christ will free you from living all your life as a slave of rightousness, an approved worker from God."
